Grade 10 Book List (Graphic Novels)

Graphic Novels…

have a place in the English Classroom. When focusing on key literacy skills it doesn’t matter what sort of text students engage with. Few teachers refuse to teach short stories because they’re “not real books” and yet that stigma exists when it comes to graphic novels.

While graphic novels can help struggling readers, by offering visual cues to help decode the text, they are also excellent texts to engage the most avid of readers.
